Suggested items include: cans of chili, soup, ravioli in meat sauce, boxes of mac & cheese, small juice boxes (100 percent juice only, no foil containers), individual serving fruit cups, healthy snacks, small packages of dried fruits, oatmeal cups, etc.

Monetary donations can be made at the Information Desk. A $100 donation sponsors a child for weekend meals for the entire school year. Donation checks made out to Fremont United Methodist Church will be tax deductible.
